Big Girl combines brute-force guitar pyrotechnics with earwormy songwriting. The New York City-based quartet, featuring Kaitlin Pelkey, (guitar, main vocals, songwriting), Crispin Swank (guitar, vocals), Michael Cohen (drums), and Nico Astudillo (bass), cite 90s bands like Weezer, Pavement, and the Pixies, as well as angular contemporary acts like Speedy Ortiz, Deerhoof, and Sloppy Jane, as significant influences.
